Almost completed French 1st Corps (a general and a battery to add) and the other half of Bonnemains's Cuirassier Division from 7th Corps done. All in my V&B basing system for use in Black Powder.
1st Corps Cavalry, 2nd & 6th Lancers, 3rd Hussars and 11th Chasseurs a Chevel, 7th Dragoons and Gen Duhesme

The dragoons did not see action in the first battles of the war, but I just had to do them

They're a pretty batch

Off they trot

One day, they might even get to be used

Mac Mahon and corps artillery assets (that need one more base of horse artillery)

It's almost Prussian in its weight of guns

Nice work, Will. :)
Lovely work. Those heavy guns look particularly mean.
Good stuff.
I do think you might want to revisit your labelling to make it more consistently sized (and possibly not a white background) some of them distract a bit from the figures. But I do like the historical context they give.
Excellent, inspirational.
FINALLY!
The missing Horse Artillery battery, and a massive thank you to Leon for whipping the casting dwarves raw until they agreed to produce a spare Cuirassier command figure to be General Bonnemains.

Very nice :)
Have to admit to liking games where you can base units up like this, and where a single stand equals a large body of men (is the proper name Corps sized games? First time I came across the concept was with Sam Mustafa's Grande Armee rules for Napoleonics).
My games are all Corps sized for FPW, so yeah, agree.
